Cooper Flagg has so far lived up to his potential during his freshman season at Duke, having quickly emerged as one of, if not the most dominating player in college basketball. Flagg's success hasn't gone unnoticed by NBA scouts, either.
The 18-year-old remains the most coveted prospect in this year's draft, and ESPN's Jonathan Givony even said that Flagg has put a "stranglehold" on the No. 1 pick. Givony credits his competitiveness and versatility on the defensive end and his ability to impact winning as two reasons Flagg is essentially a foregone conclusion to be picked first.
